“A basic online jukebox”

Songbeat is a nicely designed application that enables you to listen to music online and also download the correspondent MP3 files right to your desktop.

The program works in a very basic way. Its interface is divided into several sections from which you can search for your favorite songs, view search results and check downloaded files. Be aware of potential law infringement when downloading copyrighted material, though, because Songbeat doesn't really distinguish between free music and copyrighted music.

While searching for MP3s on the Web, you can listen to music in streaming with Songbeat's embedded player. The sound quality is surprisingly good, but the player in itself is too basic – it doesn't even have a "pause" function, so if you stop it, you won't be able to resume the song and will have to start it over from the beginning.

The idea behind Songbeat – listening to music and downloading it – is good, but the program in itself feels a bit too basic.
